Do these people actually still exist? I've never met one in real life.

Heresy.  Another part of The Great Apostasy.

YEC in Christianity wasn't really a firm thing until long after the supposed "Great Apostasy."

I know several, most notably my wife. Most of the ones I know keep pretty quiet about it outside of their Evangelical subculture, so it's not that surprising that you haven't met an open Young Earth Creationist, given your religion, location, education etc.

It's true that I don't interact with many evangelicals on a daily basis. Plenty of Catholics, Mormons, atheists, Mainliners, and a few quiet Arminian types, but not many evangelicals.

The only people I talk about YEC to are atheists.

can you stop trolling

When I was an atheist, I thought YEC was a big deal, so I spent a lot of mental energy fixating on it. It showed the "irrational, anti-science" mentality of theists, after all. Ironically, it's really an incredibly minor thing in Christianity which isn't accepted by the vast majority of notable churches; even most of the ones who do believe in it don't make that big of a deal out of it.

Option 4, as it is one of the major driving forces behind global warming denial

Anecdotal, of course, but I know a ton of conservative Catholics who believe in evolution but don't believe in (some major aspect of) global warming.
